![]() Note that there are two versions of OneNote for Windows: a desktop app and a Windows 10 app, also known as a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. I spend more time on the Windows version of each, but I’ll note similarities and differences in other versions as well. ![]() This isn't a deep-dive review, but rather a personal look at what I like and don't much like about each - and the main points of difference between the two. Syncing does work for this old platform though, which surprised me! AAS readers should also note that OneNote was part of the 'Microsoft Apps' pack from a couple of years ago, released through 'SW_Update' - this may or may not still be available from Nokia's servers, depending on your device and variant.I'm a longtime user of both applications, so I've taken a look at the latest version of each for Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone and Android. I'll come back to this in a future article, hopefully. * AAS readers should also note that the old Symbian client is slightly limited in the content types and layouts that can be synced, partly because of archictecture changes and partly because of sheer screen resolution limitations. So don't panic when the sync doesn't happen immediately.* One cautionary note is that syncing through the Microsoft cloud isn't instant - I found that new notebooks and 'sections' (tabs) took multiple minutes to make it from Mac to phone. It's pretty though, and does do a good job of managing all those notes you'd gathered from years of using Symbian, Windows Phone and Windows laptops. In use, it's fast enough, though it does seem odd to see a Microsoft Office-style 'ribbon' in addition to the traditional Mac application menus. Note that it's a huge 235MB download, presumably because of lots of graphical resources - and a runtime or two. You can download your own copy for your Mac here. ![]() Here's the new client, free in the Mac App Store:Īnd here are a few screenshots of OneNote for Mac in action, showing some of the rich content that's possible - OneNote on mobile may be fairly plain in terms of content creation, but layouts can be a lot more ambitious on the desktop: OneNote for Mac will give desktop and laptop access to the same personal OneNote notebook/database that your mobile client syncs to, and as such makes a phone/tablet/desktop workflow easier now that the latter can be a Mac. ![]()
